New iPhone iOS 17 update fixes one of the worst problems with texting – three ways typing is changing

Apple has just announced some new updates for iMessage that can save you a ton of time while texting.

At its annual WWDC event, Apple employees discussed iOS 17 and some of the new updates it’s bringing to iMessage.

Two of the biggest enhancements pertain to autocorrect and dictation.

AUTOCORRECT

Autocorrect is getting much more intelligent thanks to iOS 17.

Because of new state-of-the-art technology, users will now get a more seamless experience when using autocorrect.

Perhaps most notably, users will get predictive texts right in the message line when typing.

To use this feature, all iPhone owners have to do is press on the spacebar.

What’s more, you no longer have to automatically succumb to autocorrect edits.

That’s because users can now simply tap on an underlined word and revert to their original word.

Over time, autocorrect will also personalize your suggestions, as well as learn your most-used words — including swear words.

“In those moments where you just want to type a ducking word, well, the keyboard will learn it, too,” Craig Federighi, Apple’s software chief, said.

Thanks to a new AI-powered speech model, dictation is also more accurate.

iPhone users can dictate full-form sentences in a way that makes typing “better than ever,” Apple said.

WWDC is Apple’s yearly developer convention, where app makers gather in huge numbers.

Apple also uses the event to make major announcements about its products.

The conference is usually held at Apple Park in Cupertino, California.
